Hello, how can I buy a copy of Repton: The Lost Realms?
I wached on www.retrosoftware.co.uk but there it says that I must search on eBay, and finally I found nothing.
I would need the ssd file also, because I don't own a physical BBC micro (by the way, anyone selling a Master? Even if broken?)
Many thanks!

Re: Repton: The Lost Realms
I thought Retro software still sold physical copies?
I'd like it too but a physical copy is no use to me as I don't have any physical hardware either :/

Re: Repton: The Lost Realms
If retrosoftware still sell copies of this game, well, I couldn't find...
My question is: anyone has a contact (an email, I mean) with someone who sell it?
Thanks!

You need to buy the physical copy to get the image. Try messaging Arcadian on here?

Re: Repton: The Lost Realms
the real 'deal' 
here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBC-Model-B- ... :rk:1:pf:0
£22.49 inc P&P
, sure I bought mine weeeelllll cheaper than that!
if anyone needs the .SSD, you NEED to buy the original from RetroSoftware, then get it emailed to you.
don't know about 2nd hand stuff, as that defeats the whole point
BUT if you take a pic of original with a dated newspaper & picture of your face to confirm, can PM it,
if no one else can be bothered anymore.....
EDIT: just noticed that eBay one is for the electron 51/4" DFS 80T, can anyone confirm if this is for DFS &E00 ??
reason I ask, is I don't even have that, just the tape versions, as I made the Masters copies, and tape to disc only works &E00

Errr - it was never released on the electron AFAIK?
my bad - it was. It'll be DFS &1900?
